Excellent Dim Sum. I have voted that "I like" this - but, I have never written a review before on this excellent Chinese Dim Sum restaurant. Ton Kiang, in my opinion, is the best Dim Sum I have had.

Having lived in San Francisco for several years and now living in Portland - I am always using Ton Kiang's as the measuring stick for other Chinese Dim Sum restaurants and - so far - no other restaurant has met or exceeded the expecations that Ton Kiang's has set.

Many Americans, on their first enounter, may feel the service is swift and "cold-like" but, to me, that is typical of most Chinese restaurants - until they get to know you. Then you treated much better. The selections, as they come out hot from the kitchen, may be confusing for some, too, on their first try. So, for those who have not tried it before, here are some of my favorite Dim Sum dishes (in English):

Barbequed Pork Buns, Steamed Pork Buns, Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp-stuffed Crab Claws, Sticky Rice with Meat, Pot Stickers, Foil-wrapped Chicken, Shrimp Balls, Egg Custard Tarts - or, try the Egg Custard Rice Cakes. And, I never miss out on their Mango Pudding with cream. Yum!
